And that part of what helped me when I was doing Last Comic Standing is that, oh, well, that joke is just like so-and-so's joke or that.
That's a point.
That's a lazy joke.
Maybe I need to hear that.
Maybe I need to be challenged a little bit more.
So you would hope to get that type of critique from your colleagues and people you respect.
But every now and then, it's cool, which is why I appreciate Reddit.
Because Reddit, to me, is like the most thoughtful.
F*** yous.
Yeah, I'm just saying, if I'm getting criticized or having my work critiqued, Reddit comments are probably what I would put at the top tier because there's a lot of thought.
It's a long, nice, it's eight, nine paragraphs.
It's really...
It's really laid out, because, oh my God, because the show we do on CNN, it's a remake of a British show that's been on 30 years.
And so the Brits was all scared that we was going to their IP.
And the Have I Got News For You British page, there's a sub-thread in there that's just critiquing every episode of the American version.
And I was in that bitch every day.
when we first got on air and they were like, it's not as bad as I thought, which is a standing ovation from a British person.
But yeah, I just think that we want to create these things that are heralded and lauded and revered when the truth is some people just want a street fighter joke.
And ain't nothing I can do about that.
So if you don't laud what I want you to laud, I can't, I don't accept that as a loss.
